Kickstarter Compromised: Info Hacked

If you're on Kickstarter, you should probably be busy changing up your passwords. From CNET:

Hackers hit crowd-funding site Kickstarter and made off with user information,
the site said Saturday. Though no credit card information was taken, the site said, attackers
made off with usernames, e-mail addresses, mailing addresses, phone
numbers, and encrypted passwords.

"Actual passwords were not revealed, however it is possible for a
malicious person with enough computing power to guess and crack an
encrypted password, particularly a weak or obvious one," the site said
in a blog post,
adding that "as a precaution, we strongly recommend that you create a
new password for your Kickstarter account, and other accounts where you
use this password."
